it’s time that we dispossess them and institute these public trusts, like the Saskatchewan Roughriders or the Green Bay Packers.

It would be really nice if someone thought about the fans in all of this.

What Women Want takes it as a given that growing up in a female-heavy environment where his only male role models regularly sexually harassed his mom would automatically turn Nick into a cruel misogynist, which certainly doesn’t strike me as a natural chain of events.

Either that, or wanted bread from the Italian guy’s store.

I think you’re absolutely wrong about the GMs’ role in this. It’s a small community, and no GM wants to be known as the guy who signed the next Albert Pujols contract. It makes them look stupid and frivolous with the owners’ money ... which makes keeping and getting jobs difficult.

ARod generated 27 WAR with the Rangers from 2001-2003. You know what he didn’t produce? A significant increase in record or in attendance. The Rangers finished 4th in all three of those seasons. Their attendance was:

You claimed that ARod was a good contract and that the Rangers were desperate to dump it only because they weren’t willing “to spend enough to put other pieces around him”. I think this is a silly argument; ARod was making about 8-10x the average MLB salary at the time of his deal. What the Rangers experienced was…

So the argument is “go ahead and give a guy a huge 10-year contract ... because that will give you the opportunity to give OTHER guys big contracts?

I think that’s the point. It’s just nonsense when players imply that “no one wants to sign Harper or Machado”. Harper and Machado don’t want to sign for what teams want to pay them. I’m sure there are more than a few teams who would be willing to give either one of them a contract like your second scenario ... but…

Tony Soprano.

She tried to enter someone else’s home without permission. When that person refused and attempted to keep her out, she sustained a very minor injury.

Let’s be clear: CBS-affiliate KDKA didn’t decide to fire this guy; CBS Corporate mandated they fire this guy.

Thanks. That’s where I was going with my question (“does it matter ... if you think you’ve committed libel”). Since much of libel is about intent, if you fired the guy, it seems to suggest his intent, which the corporation would be responsible for.

Tell that to my wife’s divorce lawyer.

Fake news. The Browns wouldn’t have picked him; the Browns would have traded down.

I’m curious: would KDKA firing the guy weaken their defense in a lawsuit?

Yes, it showed bias. Yes, it was unprofessional.

It’s hard for me to take anything TNT does seriously. Good Behavior was a powerful drama infused with some good jokes that should have been winning Emmy’s and a Best Actress for Michelle Dockery if it had been on Amazon or Netflix, but TNT couldn’t muster the publicity and then didn’t have the balls to stick with it…

The Steelers didn’t play kicker roulette. They gave their kicker a 4-year deal this past offseason. Counterpoint: don’t commit to a kicker.
